Kelly B.- I kind of see what you mean.
No offense, but I for one, think axolotls would taste excellent with tartar sause, but I love them more than any other caudate...ask almost anyone! I'm not above eating one if I was hungry and earth ran out of other animals, and I'm definitely not above eating a chicken, dog, cat, rabbit, cockroach, cricket, or pretty much anything that breathes, exept for endangered and protected species, and spiders. I've known several farmers who have animals that they favor and keep from slaughter, but that doesn't mean they don't send that favorite pig or goat's sibblings to the slaughter house. People are omnivores, this means we eat meat and vegetation. There are far too many people around to be eating wild animals, if we did, there wouldn't be a plentiful hooved species of animal on the earth any more. We need livestock to feed the world. Please don't try to preach to us about sin because we love newts. I feed deformed axolotls to my sirens, does that mean I'm full of sin too? They won't make it past a few days old, and they're very nutritous. Do you think we're evil for feeding worms to our salamander? Is it wrong for toads to eat beetles in the wild? Behold the beautiful circle of life, it's a constant food chain!
Cheers,
Jacob
P.S. Contrary to what you've been lead to believe, not all livestock animals are mistreated.

I don't mean to be harsh in any way, just brutally honest.
